    What are you charging? Are your prices too high? What about P&P charges?

    Where did you come up with that idea? Presumably you saw them selling somewhere, so you know their is a market? It just seems a little random to me, but i doubt im your sort of customer - if i need to flatten something im cooking, i wrap a wine bottle in clingfilm!

    Can you show a picture so we have an idea what your quality is ...

    Seriously, these are the sort of things people will buy at a craft fair as a nicknacky thing, but there isn't a huge market. You may get some luck on EBAY or ETSY ...

    Can you diversify at all into things people may actually want - clocks are useful & can be pretty too :)

    I hate tat like this. Especially when grammatically incorrect! (Should be an apostrophe in Jade's ;))

    I wasn't! Just offering an explanation as to why they aren't selling.
